There is a six-hour event cut off, (if you start at 9am, and 4hour event cut off if you start at 11am) .  

The route encompasses the beautiful grounds of Haughley Park.

You may be completing your first official 5k,10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even ultra-Marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th, the location is pretty self-contained, making this an intimate event with us having exclusive use of the main area and have plenty of open space.

There will be a water, aid station located at the lap point so no stress of having to carry lots of food, water or equipment.

Parking is also included and secure on site.

We will have a parking attendant showing you to park who will assist in directing you to the start point to collect your race number. 

There will be a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race.   Or if you choose the lucky dip option (if an available option), you will choose from a selection of previous medals.

The course is mainly pathway with a small section of trails and woodland.  Our suggestion is to wear road trainers but depending on the weather before the event you may want to bring trails if you have them but not essential.
